I don't care that much, but it's mildly annoying to me because conspiracies in general irritate me. The confidence with which conspiracists talk about their ideas is far too high.
Know what you mean! I think a generous measure of suspicion and a interest in seeing beyong the veil is healthy but the way people that align themselves with "conspiracy theorists" are so eager to lap up anything spurting from Alex Jones mouth is scary and honestly speaks to their ability to be objective. Spout cospiraciy theories daily and you're probably going to land on a correct one now and then. Law of averages. But it doesn't indicate the man is some kind of visionary. It's no different to the way the media creates news stories dail to keep their respective brands in views and income. What's really frustrating is the way people under this banner instantly assume anyone they interact with is ignorant to these theories or the fact that we live a world manipulated from behind the scenes. They put value on themselves for lapping up these theories and consider themselves intelligently superior to, what they will regularly refer to as "people like you/them". It's ignorant and delusional and I suspect its fuelled by their very delicate egoes and self loathing that they're unable to face so they convince themselves they're superior and of some kind of 1% club that knows better than everyone. Sounds familiar eh? A bit like the people they claim to be against.
Conspiracies occur. Posaible no more in history than the times we live in now but there aren't lizard people living amogst us as interesting and exciting as that would be. They just nasty grimy people that have their mucky fingers in some sketchy pies. Surely that's bad enough to sink ones teeth into.
To any conspiracies theorist reading this I'd like to offer up some very interesting viewing. Probably the most wnlightwning media I ever came across. Look for Adam Curtis's body of documentaries. Hypernormalisation for example. There's quite a body of work available but that's one with critical acclaim to start with. It will quench the conspiracy lover in you and its fucking real.. Lost of it involving info on the likes of the Clintons and the usual suspects targeted by conspiracy theorists. But like I said, it's the real shit. Not the David Ike needs to sell books shit. And it's better imho.
